Roller Bearings 90mm

Roller bearings are mechanical components used to reduce friction between moving parts. They are critical elements in a wide range of machinery and equipment, providing a smooth rolling motion by allowing two surfaces to move relative to one another with reduced friction. Roller bearings are part of the broader family of bearings, which also includes ball bearings and plain bearings.

Here are the key features and types of roller bearings:
1. Function:
- Roller bearings facilitate smooth and controlled motion by distributing the load over a larger area. They use cylindrical or tapered rollers to reduce friction between moving parts.

2. Types of Roller Bearings:
- Cylindrical Roller Bearings: These use cylindrical rollers and are suitable for high radial loads, often found in heavy machinery like crushers, conveyors, and rolling mills.
- Tapered Roller Bearings: These rollers have conical shapes and are capable of handling both radial and thrust loads. They're commonly used in automotive applications, such as wheel bearings.
 Spherical Roller Bearings: These have barrel-shaped rollers and are suitable for applications with heavy radial loads and some axial (thrust) loads. They can accommodate misalignment and are used in industries like mining, construction, and heavy equipment.
Needle Roller Bearings: These have cylindrical rollers with a high length-to-diameter ratio and are used in compact spaces, such as in automotive transmissions and engine components.

3. Construction:
- Roller bearings typically consist of an inner ring, an outer ring, roller elements, a cage or retainer to keep the rollers separated, and sometimes shields or seals to protect the bearing from contamination.

4. Lubrication:
- Proper lubrication is crucial for the longevity and performance of roller bearings. Lubricants reduce friction and wear between the rolling elements and the races, ensuring smooth operation.

5. Application:
- Roller bearings are used in a vast array of machinery, from industrial equipment, automotive components, aerospace applications, construction machinery, to appliances and more.

Advantages of Roller Bearings:
- Can handle high radial and axial loads.
- Offer high rotational accuracy.
- Come in various designs suitable for different applications.
- Durable and have a long service life if properly maintained.
